Dust 514 open to PS Plus subscribers from August 21

PlayStation Plus members will have access to an exclusive DUST 514 beta test between August 21 and September 4, CCP has announced. The beta is the first to be hosted live on EVE Online’s servers, meaning it will grant access to orbital strikes, matchmaking, and new maps. Understandably, you want to get on board immediately; if you don’t have a Plus subscription, you can buy a Mercenary Pack for an all-access pass and a pile of bonus in-game loot. DUST 514 is set to launch by the end of the year, ties in intimately with EVE Online, and supports keyboard and mouse controls.

Sometimes we include links to online retail stores. If you click on one and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. For more information, go here.

During EVE Fanfest 2015 this week, CCP mentioned Project Legion only in passing, stating that the focus was on getting DUST 514 right for PlayStation 3 players before concentrating too much on its re-imagining of DUST 514 for PC.
